BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Technical Field of the Disclosure

The present disclosure relates generally to conduit mounting assemblies, and more particularly to a method and assembly for mounting a conduit on a tile.

Description of the Related Art

A wide variety of conduit mounting assemblies are available in the art. Such conduit mounting assemblies are used to mount different types of conduits such as metallic, non-metallic, electrical, and other conduits on tiles, rooftops, along walls, inside walls, underground and through and on other media and surfaces. These mounting assemblies often include threads, clamps, interconnecting elements and the like for connecting a conduit to a surface or one conduit with another. Rooftop conduit mounting assemblies are conventionally used to mount such conduits to a roof or in an elevated position off the roof.

Some conventional methods and systems include wall-mounted type and trapeze type support strut assemblies which attach pipes, conduit, and tubes to vertical and horizontal surfaces. These may utilize multiple fastening members for mounting the assembly on vertical and horizontal surfaces, but may cause damage to the mounting surface. When the mounting surface is a roof component, such as a tile, damage can lead to problems in waterproofing. Other additional conventional systems do not securely hold the conduit is such a way as to prevent conduit movement, which can result in vibrational or other movement that can deliver repeated and/or impact loads on the tile causing breakage, damage and/or the disengagement of the conduit and/or mount.

There is thus a need for a conduit mounting assembly that is secure, simple and cost effective. Such a needed assembly would require fewer fastening members to mount a conduit thereby reducing or preventing possible damage to the mounting surface, which may be particularly important when the mounting surface is a tile. Further, such a needed mounting assembly would provide a secure connection to the tile that prevents conduit movement and impact loads on the tile. The needed assembly would also prevent and avoid enabling any water intrusion through the tile level roofing This needed assembly would provide a surface area to mount the conduit in an elevated position off the roof to prevent or reduce damage to the conduit and roof. Such a needed assembly would easily and quickly allow a user to install a conduit on a mounting surface and would be adaptable to mount on flat and curved tiles. These and other objectives are accomplished by the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To minimize the limitations found in the prior art, and to minimize other limitations that will be apparent upon the reading of the specification, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method and conduit mounting assembly for mounting a conduit on a tile. The conduit mounting assembly includes a first clamp portion, a second clamp portion, a connecting screw and a conduit securement screw. The first clamp portion is designed to attach generally around a front portion of the tile, the second clamp portion is attached to the tile opposite from the first clamp. The first clamp portion includes a first top hook, a first bottom hook and a first elongated member. The first top hook includes a first top hooked portion and a first top base portion having a first side hole. The first bottom hook includes a first bottom hooked portion and a first bottom base portion having a second side hole. The second clamp portion includes a second top hook, a second bottom hook and a second elongated member. The second top hook includes a second top base portion and a second top hooked portion. The second top base portion includes a third side hole and the second top hooked portion includes a first top hole. The second bottom hook includes a second bottom base portion and a second bottom hooked portion. The connecting screw includes a first screw thread and the conduit securement screw includes a second screw thread for firmly fastening the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion with the tile. The first clamp portion and the second clamp portion are designed to easily mount the conduit on the tile or any other surface having two ends.

When the first clamp portion is mounted around the front portion of the tile, the first top base portion of the first clamp portion is attached to a top edge of the tile, the first top hooked portion is attached around a rear portion of the tile and the first elongated member is attached to the front portion of the tile. When the second clamp portion is mounted opposite to the first clamp portion and around the front portion on the tile, the second bottom base portion is attached to a bottom edge of the tile, the second bottom hooked portion is attached around the rear portion of the tile and the second elongated member is attached on the front portion of the tile. The first clamp portion is connected to the second clamp portion by a connecting screw inserted through the third side hole of the second clamp portion and a second side hole of the first clamp portion. The connecting screw is firmly tightened utilizing the first screw thread and a tightening means. When the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion are firmly connected with each other, the first elongated member base portion forms a 90-degree inclination with the first bottom base portion of the first bottom hook. The 90-degree inclination indicates that the first clamp portion is firmly connected to the second clamp portion utilizing the connecting screw to apply sufficient clamping load on the roofing tile to adequately hold the conduit in place on the roof. In one configuration, a near 90-degree inclination is acceptable. In another configuration, the 90-degree inclination is constant and not effected by tightening the connecting screw.

The preferred embodiment provides a method for mounting the conduit on the second clamp portion connected to the conduit fastening member. The method commences by providing the conduit mounting assembly. Next, the first clamp portion is mounted around the front portion of the tile.

Referring to FIGS. 1-10 , a method and assembly for mounting a conduit 72 (see FIG. 7 ) on a tile 60 (see FIG. 2 ) utilizing a conduit mounting assembly 10 is illustrated. The conduit mounting assembly 10 includes a first clamp portion 12, a second clamp portion 32, a connecting screw 52 and a conduit securement screw 56. The first clamp portion 12 is designed to attach generally around a front portion 82 (see FIG. 2 ) of the tile 60. The first clamp portion 12 includes a first top hook 16, a first bottom hook 24 and a first elongated member 14. The first top hook 16 includes a first top hooked portion 20 and a first top base portion 18 having a first side hole 22. The first bottom hook 24 includes a first bottom hooked portion 28 and a first bottom base portion 26 having a second side hole 30. The second clamp portion 32 (see FIG. 4 ) includes a second top hook 42, a second bottom hook 34 and a second elongated member 40. The second top hook 42 includes a second top base portion 44 and a second top hooked portion 48. The second top base portion 44 includes a third side hole 46 and the second top hooked portion 48 includes a first top hole 50. The second bottom hook 34 includes a second bottom base portion 36 and a second bottom hooked portion 38. The connecting screw 52 (see FIG. 5 ) includes a first screw thread 54 and the conduit securement screw 56 includes a second screw thread 58 for firmly fastening the first clamp portion 12 and the second clamp portion 32 with the tile 60. In a preferred embodiment at least one of the holes in the assembly is threaded to match its counterpart screw. In additional embodiments a plurality of holes are threaded and in one embodiment all holes in the assembly are threaded and as such the entire assembly in this alternative embodiment may comprise no nuts. The first clamp portion 12 and the second clamp portion 32 are designed to easily mount the conduit 72 (see FIG. 7 ) on the tile 60 or any other surface having two ends. In the preferred embodiment, the first clamp portion 12 is longer than the second clamp portion 32, although in other embodiments the relative lengths may be switched or equal to one another.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , when the first clamp portion 12 is in contact with the front portion 82 of the tile 60, the first top base portion 18 of the first clamp portion 12 meets a top edge 62 of the tile 60, the first top hooked portion 20 is attached around a rear portion 64 of the tile 60 and the first elongated member 14 is attached on the front portion 82 of the tile 60. As shown in FIG. 4 , the second clamp portion 32 is attached opposite to the first clamp portion 12 on the tile 60. When the second clamp portion 32 is mounted opposite to the first clamp portion 12 and around the front portion 82 on the tile 60, the second bottom base portion 36 is attached to a bottom edge 66 of the tile 60, the second bottom hooked portion 38 (FIG. 1 ) is attached around the rear portion 64 of the tile 60 and the second elongated member 40 is attached on the front portion 82 of the tile 60. In the preferred method, no sharp fastening members are utilized by the conduit mounting assembly 10 for mounting the first clamp portion 12 and the second clamp portion 32 on the tile 60 thereby protecting the tile 60 from possible damage. As shown in FIG. 5 , the first clamp portion 12 is connected to the second clamp portion 32 by inserting the connecting screw 52 through the third side hole 46 (FIG. 1 ) of the second clamp portion 32 and a second side hole 30 of the first clamp portion 12. The connecting screw 52 is firmly bolted utilizing a tightening means. The first screw thread 54 is designed to tightly fasten the connecting screw 52. When the first clamp portion 12 and the second clamp portion 32 are firmly connected with each other, the first elongated member base portion 26 forms a 90-degree inclination with the first bottom base portion 26 of the first bottom hook 24. The 90-degree inclination indicates that the first clamp portion 12 is firmly connected to the second clamp portion 32 utilizing the connecting screw 52 to apply sufficient clamping load on the roofing tile to adequately hold the conduit 72 in place on the roof. In one configuration, a near 90-degree inclination is acceptable. In another configuration, the 90-degree inclination is constant and not effected by tightening the connecting screw 52.

As may be apparent from a viewing of the components in FIG. 1 , they are reversible. Said again with an exemplary case being first clamp portion 12, first bottom base portion 26 and first top base portion 18 are reversible. Whereas in this exemplary case, the first bottom base portion 26 may support the hooking of tiles of 1 inch or less thickness, for thicker tiles, the wider first top base portion 18 may be attached around the rear portion 64 of the tile 60. As may be expected, hole 22 and hole 30 are preferably interchangeable.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the conduit 72 is firmly mounted on the second clamp portion 32 by inserting the conduit 72 through a conduit opening 74 of a conduit fastening member 68. The conduit securement screw 56 is inserted through a fastening hole 70 at the conduit fastening member 68 and the first top hole 50 at the second top hooked portion 48. Although in a preferred embodiment there is just one first top hole 50 at the second top hooked portion 48, in alternative embodiments there may be a set of first top holes, the set including two or more. The conduit securement screw 56 is then bolted utilizing the tightening means. In this way, the conduit 72 is firmly mounted on the second clamp portion 32 connected to the conduit fastening member 68. In the preferred embodiment, the second top hooked portion 48 of the second clamp portion 32 is longer than the second bottom hooked portion 38 for firmly mounting the conduit 72 thereon. It is noted that in FIG. 6 the reversibility of first clamp portion 12 is shown. Furthermore, it can be seen that conduit securement screw 56 is approaching the second clamp portion 32 such that if downward pressure is placed on the conduit fastening member 68, conduit securement screw 56 would be urged downwards and would actually touch second clamp portion 32, thereby taking further pressure off other components in the system. This effect can be particularly useful when weight is added to the system, either through accumulating snow or in the case where an installer, user or homeowner were to step on the components involved.

The above-mentioned method is utilized to install the first and the second clamp portions 12, 32 on flat tiles or tiles of other shapes; however, any surface having two ends around which each of the top or bottom hook can be secured around is an acceptable surface for use with the conduit mounting assembly 10 and method. FIG. 8 illustrates the conduit mounting assembly 10 mounted on a curved tile 76. The mounting assembly 10 is rigid such that it will be firmly attached to the curved tile 76 without swaying.

In yet another alternative configuration shown in FIG. 9 , the conduit mounting assembly 78 is utilized to install the first clamp portion 12 and the second clamp portion 95 on a surface that does not allow each of the respective hooks 84, 86 to wrap around, such as a surface having a thickness too large for the respective hooks 84, 86 to wrap around. The conduit opening 91 of the conduit fastening member 90 is designed to receive the conduit 72. The conduit fastening member 90 is firmly mounted on the second clamp portion 95 utilizing the conduit securement screw 56 (FIG. 8 ) and a top fastening screw 92. The conduit securement screw 56 is inserted through a base hole 93 of the conduit fastening member 90 and the first top hole 94. The conduit securement screw 56 is tightened to firmly mount the conduit 72 received by the conduit opening 91 on the second clamp portion 95 connected to the conduit fastening member 90. In this case, the hooks 84, 86 those would otherwise wrap around the surface instead just lay flat against the side of the surface as shown in FIG. 9 . The top fastening screw 92 provides additional support to the conduit 72 mounted on the second clamp portion 95. The conduit mounting assembly 78 accepts a wide variety of pipe clamps and is designed to hold/support a variety of objects on a tile roof. As shown in FIG. 9 , the first top hook 84 and the second bottom hook 86 are designed to attach to tiles having greater than one inch thickness, and theoretically, of any thickness. Further, the first bottom hook 88 is designed to attach to tiles having less than one inch thickness. In this alternate embodiment, the first top hook 84 and the first bottom hook 88 can be reversibly attached to the top edge 62 of the tile 60.

FIG. 10 illustrates a flowchart of the method for mounting the conduit 72 on the tile 60. The method commences by providing the conduit mounting assembly as shown in block 100. Next, the first clamp portion is in contact with the front portion of the tile as shown in block 102. Thereafter, the second clamp portion is mounted opposite to the first clamp portion on the tile as shown in block 104. Upon mounting the second clamp portion, the first clamp portion is connected to the second clamp portion by inserting and aligning the connecting screw through the third side hole of the second clamp portion and the second side hole of the first clamp portion as indicated at block 106. Next, the connecting screw is tightened to the tightening means for firmly engaging the first clamp portion with the second clamp portion as shown in block 108. The conduit is inserted through the conduit opening of the conduit fastening member as indicated at block 110. Thereafter, the conduit securement screw is inserted and aligned through the fastening hole at the conduit fastening member and the first top hole at the second clamp portion as shown in block 112. Finally, the conduit is firmly mounted to the second clamp portion connected to the conduit fastening member by tightening the conduit securement screw utilizing the tightening means as indicated at block 114.

In alternative embodiments of the invention, the system may hold various types of brackets for various purposes, such as for those holding and securing conduits, pipes (both insulated and non-insulated), solar pool heating systems, header brackets, and various straps. As shown in FIGS. 11-90 , the core functionality of the underlying tile mounting system remains unchanged.

The foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been presented for the purpose of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings.
